The coverage for the competition has been distributed between the BBC and BT Sport, with the broadcasting giants sharing their pick of the big games.

The all-London clash between Crystal Palace and Tottenham is also set to play out live on television on the same day as Chelsea – running just before the Blues’ clash with a 4pm kick-off.
